User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-G900P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.116 Mobile Safari/537.36 OPR/55.0.2719.50522

Steps to reproduce:

about:preferences#general>Nightly Updates>Show Update History

Actual results:

The date&time it gives for "Installed on" is actually the time it was downloaded. The date&time it was installed(&launched) isn't shown.

Expected results:

The date&time it gives for "Installed on" should instead say "Downloaded", and then another line should give the date&time it was indeed installed(&launched).

Hi, are you using an android device or a regular desktop?

I tested this on Windows10 64 bit Firefox 730a1, and clicking 'Show Update History' doesn't show up any information as date&time installation. The pop-up appears blank. Then I tested in Ubuntu 18.04.3 (Firefox730a1) and pop-up shows up detailed information about it. Please, refer to screenshots attached.

Please let us know wheter if you're using android device and any additional information that could help us.

Thanks!
Regards, Jero.

linux desktop nightly 73.0a1 (20191219215202), like your first screenshot.

The date&time shown as "Installed on" is actually when it was downloaded.

The date&time shown as "Installed on" should say "Downloaded", and an additional line should show the date&time it was indeed installed(&launched).

perhaps the distinction between what's shown and what should be shown isn't much if you always "Restart to update Nightly" as soon as it prompts you to do so, but if it isn't convenient to restart for several days, the difference becomes rather significant, at least in cases where it matters to know which build was running when.

Hi, thanks for your feedback!

As a starting point, I will add a Product & Component to this issue, hopefully someone from their team will be able to take a look at this.

Regards!
